Top 5-Star Hotels in Seattle

I was determined to book this hotel for our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Seattle, which is good, because frustrations with the All.com, fairmont.com websites and the Accor ALL app made it a challenge to actually do so. When I finally booked, I put a note on the booking that it was a very special occasion. We arrived by cab. While the four bellmen at the front did help unload the luggage, they also told us we seemed capable of carrying the bags in ourselves. I'm not sure if that's because we didn't arrive in an upscale SUV, or if the hotel just takes a passive approach to greeting guests. The underwhelming continued when we checked in, and I was asked what brought us to Seattle. I reiterated what was on the booking -- very special anniversary, chose to come to the Olympic Hotel to celebrate. ”Oh, congratulations. Elevators are behind you across the lobby.”. As a platinum member, a certain number of perks are granted. We arrived to a plate of bonbons and some fresh fruit. It's the fist hotel I've stayed at that actually did supply fitness gear (per Platinum perks), which was a nice surprise. I was less pleasantly surprised to find no mini-bar in the room, not even an empty fridge. I'd booked the Signature King Corner View, and it had what is likely one of the best views in the hotel. The room was nicely sized, with a desk, sitting chair and ottoman, and the king bed, with windows all around. The bed was super comfortable (as expected!). The bathroom was spacious, but in need of renovation -- at very least, to replace the old, tiny tub/shower and under-pressured, inferior shower fixtures, as well as the tile throughout. It was clean, or at least mostly, and while towels were showing some age, they were still fluffy. Amenities were a bit more limited than other properties, but we knew we could call down for extras if we needed to. Staff in hallways were friendly, and anything left in the hallway seemed to disappear quickly enough (ie room service trays and other detritus). Requests for amenities (pillows, coffee/tea replenishment) were met quickly and graciously. But... the door/bellmen were routinely disinterested -- the number of times we pushed through the main doors while they stood off to the side talking to one another was surprising. (Guests arriving in elegant dresses? Lots of help. In a shiny SUV or luxury car? Loads of reaction. But two 40-somethings dressed casually, but paying plenty to stay at the hotel? Not so much a glance or offer of help.) Housekeeping is rather annoyingly ”on demand only”, but we happily found our room had been serviced on our first day while we were out -- and when we called on subsequent days to request service, the response was gracious -- and the room was always done by the time we returned. Room service (breakfast one morning) was fast and delicious. Service in the lobby bar was friendly and the drinks were delicious. There are two restaurants -- The George and Shuckers -- and the lobby bar offers

Everything is fineThe hotel may have a long history, so the gates are not automated, you have to manually do it yourself, but it is a five-star hotel after all, so the service is still okay

Hotel location is excellent, you can see the Ferris wheel

We have stayed here several times and it is truly a fantastic hotel in downtown Seattle. They upgraded our room to a corner suite and couldn't have been nicer. Always greeted with a smile and a pleasant hello and it was obvious that the hotel employees enjoyed their jobs. The room was huge with a super-comfortable bed and an equally large sofa to sprawl out on. The views were of the waterfront and the location is in the heart of everything fun. The property has an excellent gym outfitted with a Peloton and is kept very clean. There is room to improve the menu in the restaurant, but all things said, this is a great place -- again!!

Our stay at this hotel was simply outstanding! From check-in to check-out, the service was impeccable. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's amenities were top-notch, and the staff's attention to detail made our experience truly exceptional. Highly recommended for a luxurious and comfortable stay!

It is located in CBD where we can easily visit touristic sites like Pioneer Square, Waterfront, Great Wheel and Space Needle. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a 7-11 in 10 minutes walk distance. The room is clean. Metro. Westlake station is in a 10 minutes walk distance.

Room could have been cleaner, but amenities and staff were both excellent in helping us get a great stay. The bed topper must have been hard to clean for staff and the floor was dirty, but we had it get recleaned and this was fixed. Staff were super helpful and the room tech was a fun feature to have.

We were staying just for the night, our room was on the 30th floor with the beautiful view of the city lights. It was also pretty spacious for the downtown location. We ate breakfast for about $25pp. It consisted of just a typical continental selection, which is usually free in less expensive hotels. Location is very convenient to Waterfront, downtown spots and public transport. Parking at the hotel was expensive, but that was expected for DT location.

The location of the hotel is very good, in the city center, you can walk to the subway station, there are shopping malls and bus stations nearby. The sanitary conditions of the hotel are average. There is a lot of dust in the indoor air conditioner. After staying for two nights, the refrigerator in the room made a lot of noise at night. It is located on the third floor and the outdoor machine is very noisy at night. It is recommended to avoid the third floor.

Business hotel near to Pikes Market and Capitol Hill. Room is very nice, cozy and clean. Staff is helpful and service level is good.
